Ever since the USS Walker came from another world war to defy the terrifying Grik and diabolical Dominion, Matt Reddy and his crew have given their all to protect the oppressed Lemurians. But with the Walker in desperate need of repairs just as the Grik's first general is poised to strike, Reddy is desperate. With more enemies than ever before arrayed against them, the crew of the Walker needs new allies. That means combing the lethal wilds of Madagascar to find the Lemurians' fabled ancestors as well as the enigmatic dwellers east of the Pass of Fire. But what Reddy's crew unearths may be more than they can handle - discoveries so shattering that they could tilt the balance of the war in either direction. But Reddy's greatest adversary is from his past: a madman named Kurokawa whose single-minded mission of revenge will shake the Alliance to its core and raise the stakes to the most personal and terrifying levels Reddy has ever faced.

Maybe the magic is gone; maybe I'm being too critical.While the year wait was expected, the result wasn't. This felt like the shortest book and I didn't feel it measured up to earlier books in the series. The writing seems to have become formulaic; I knew exactly how the characters would react to the increasingly transparent plot line. Good guys win one, bad guys win one, the main characters are in turn surprised, emotionally tortured, vengeful then finally resolute. I know the sounds like it must have been an action-packed volume, but it's wasn't. Nothing happens in this book. I didn't feel vested in any of the characters or their actions this time around. Hopefully this is similar to the set-up episodes before a season finale or I may give up on the investment in this series.
I was given an Advance Reader's copy, and have the Audio book, those on Audio.com can listen early shame on you . I write this prior to the release date. Lots of info, real plot surprises, battles, and leaving us awaiting the next installment. If ARC illustrations in printed book Good map of southern Africa with Madagadcar & Zanzabar, two pages of Recognition Silhouettes, and the interior view of USS Walker again. The Khonoshi, Halick Blas-Ma-Ar, Denis Silva, Fred & Kari, and Sandra Tucker Reddy fans will enjoy. I'll give one tech SPOILER there are four prototype tanks. I'm mentioned in Acknowledgements along with others active on the author's web site. One plot SPOILER Savoie appears in the Indian Ocean.For those new to the series Taylor Anderson adds a bit from previous books but as this is book eleven in the series those new to the series may wish to read the others in order to fully understand this world. The Destroyermen Wiki might help those who plunge in cold Link [...]
Blood in the Water is great book in the series! Easily my favorite scores series. Bought it and read it in one day. My only criticism is we have to wait a year between books. Plus I would like to see the destroyers win a war. Looks like a third adversary is coming now. But the characters are really well developed. Seeing the changes in the grim general is really interesting.... get busy Taylor and get another book out soon .
The battles continue against ever more challenging enemies. Fans of the series will find any number of new friends, new enemies and new weapons to focus your interest. There is not just one cliff-hanger at the end but many. Now we have to wait until the next installment.
My only problem with this series of books is, they just can't be written fast enough for me get my fix properly. That is NOT a black mark against the author or publisher, but more in line with my reading proclivities, they can be, a little, overbearing, at times. Rollicking fun, plot twists across the board and a large roomy world, still rife with potential. I love this series like no ther, it is flat out one of my main three, The iron Druid, Dresden Files, and the Destroyermen. I would like to keep all three of these authors only writing these particular stories, but that would be cheating and more than a little greedy. Deep down, I think every male on the planet would like to identify with Dennis Silva, though not the "star" it seems more likely we all want to live vicariously through a one eyed, patch wearing, gigantic man mountain that causes some form of pandemonium wherever he goes, it's just good clean fun. Love the books, love the voice given to the characters, and love the development of more story lines. Thank you Mr. Anderson, for another winner!
Here we go again! I have read all the Destroyermen series in order. I envy anyone that has not read them as they have a hell of a treat in store and do not have to wait a year to read the next one. This is the best so far. (Full disclose warning: I said it about each of them). Mr Anderson is full of military insights. I just love strategy and tactics. This book also has an interesting insight into capitalism unleashed. The book constantly speaks to my libertarian leanings.What a great find. I bless the day I picked up the first Destroyermen book.
"Destroyermen" is a terrific series. Andersen is a polished writer and has created a vivid alternate Earth. There are many simultaneous plots and lots of good characters. And at least two formidable enemies. For those unfamiliar with the series, starting at book 1 is highly recommended.
After 11 books you would think the story would start to get old. But no, Anderson finds ways to not only keep the story fresh and moving but also gripping. The story line moves to new areas on this one and i'm looking forward to seeing where they end up. Part of me wishes Anderson would write other book away from the Destroyerman books. But why should he when he does this so well?
